Gallia

[Karlotta]

This questions are addressed to everyone, especially Gallic Faction leaders, storyline devs, and anyone who knows anything about Gallia:

1. Do you see any issues with this version of Gallic history below? The parts in green are made up by me to provide possible explanations for other aspects of gallic history, which I couldn’t find in wiki or infocards. Would it be better to make the first Clermont dynasty more moderate, and the second Clermont dynasty the radical one, by putting the green stuff in after the Clermonts return to power?

2. Not really explained how the gauls “invented” jump gates and trade lanes. There is a hint about aliens in the Calais station infocard, but is that all? Should I add something about gates and lanes being invented after the station was built?

3. There’s little to nothing to be found about the first Gallic Civil war. Anyone know who fought, why, and from when to when? Anything to do with “Normandie rebels”? And/Or the other dynasty that took over 418 to 515? Is it linked to the ceiled-off jump gates? The later would conflict with the jumpgates being invented after Calais was built.
